ELECTRIC STOVE.

Application filed May 27, 1927. Serial No. 194,821.

This invention relates to an electric stove, the general object of the invention being to so form the stove that pancakes and the like can be cooked thereon, and to make the stove of such a size that it can be set on the table or on a serving table placed near the table.

A further object of the invention is to make the stove in two sections which are hingedly connected together, with a heating coil in each section and one section havingrecesses in its cooking surface for receiving the batter or other material to be cooked.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, ref erence will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the stove.

Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Figure 4:.

Figure 3 me 2.

Figure 4 is a plan View of the stove in open position.

As shown in these views, the stove comprises the base section 1 and the top or cover section 2, the sections being hingedly connected together by forming ears 3 at the ends of the rear edges of the sections and passing pins 4 through the ears, as shown. The bottom section 1 is formed with a depending apron 5 which forms a rest or support for the section, the lower edge of the apron being provided with a channel shaped flange 6. The top section is provided with the legs 7 on its top face at its front corners for supporting the section in horizontal position when the stove is in open condition.

Each section is made in the form of a casing, with one face open and the heating coils 8 are placed in the casings. Suitable nonconducting material 9 fills each casing, A cover plate 10 is held in place by the fasten ing means 11, so that the non-conducting material and the coils are covered.

is a section on line 3-3 of F The socket engaging terminals 12 are carried by a plate 12 which depends from the front of the bottom section, the apron being provided with an opening to expose said plate and the coils are connected with these terminals by the conductors 13. The conductors leading to the coils in the top section pass through the space formed by the apron and through a slot 14: formed in the rear of the apron and are connected with the terminals 15 which are carried by the top section and which are connected with the coil therein.

A handle16 is connected with one end of the top section so that it can be movedon its hinges.

The section 2 is provided with the circular recesses 17 in itscooking surface for receiving the batter or material to be cooked.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the stove can be set on a dining table or on a serving table or other support nearby so that the cakes can be baked and served without one leaving the table, as is necessary when the cakes are cooked on a regulator stove. The batter is placed in the recesses 17 in the top section and when the cakes are Well baked, the top section is turned over to dump the cakes upon the bottom section so that they will be baked on the opposite side. A new supply of batter is placed in the recesses of the top section so that the stove will be cooking two sets of cakes at the same time, the baking operation being completed for one set, on the bottom section while the second setis beginning to be baked on the top section. The batter is set after being baked on one side in the recesses of the top section so that the cakes will drop from the recesses on to the bottom section when the top section is turned over. 7

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes int-he construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is An electric stove of the class described 7 comprising a bottom section having a de-' pending apron forming asupport for the section, said apron having its lower edges turned up to form a trough, a top section hingedly connected With the bottom section, legs at the front corners of the top sect-ion for supporting the same in horizontal position When the stove is in open condition, a coil in each section, terminals on the bottom section electrically connected with the coils, a

sect-ion When said top section is inverted.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

LOUIS H. CHEADLE.
